《血之行者》总监为何离开 CDPR 自立门户

Following the releases of The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, several key figures from CD Projekt RED departed to pursue independent ventures. Among them, a notable group formed Rebel Wolves studio, the creators of the recently announced Blood of Dawnwalker.

Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, a CD Projekt RED veteran, shed light on his decision to leave CDPR and establish Rebel Wolves. His key reasons included:

A desire for creative independence and innovation with trusted colleagues. He and his team felt strongly that established RPG conventions could be significantly improved upon, leading to the development of unconventional ideas. The difficulty in convincing a large corporation to embrace such radical changes and work with entirely new intellectual property (IP) prompted the formation of their own studio. This path, while inherently riskier, allowed for the exploration of novel gameplay solutions.

A preference for a collaborative, close-knit development environment. Tomaszkiewicz highlighted the streamlined communication and shared vision within a smaller team, contrasting it with the complexities of larger studios. This intimate structure fosters a stronger sense of creative energy and facilitates the development of truly unique gaming experiences.
